18:1 |
|
18:2 |
The LORD [is] my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, [and] my high tower.
|
18:3 |
I will call upon the LORD, [who is worthy] to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
|
18:4 |
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
|
18:5 |
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
|
18:6 |
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, [even] into his ears.
|
18:7 |
Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
|
18:8 |
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
|
18:9 |
He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness [was] under his feet.
|
18:10 |
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
|
18:11 |
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
|
18:12 |
At the brightness [that was] before him his thick clouds passed, hail [stones] and coals of fire.
|
18:13 |
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail [stones] and coals of fire.
|
18:14 |
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.
|
18:15 |
Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
|
18:16 |
He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
|
18:17 |
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
|
18:18 |
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
|
18:19 |
He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
|
18:20 |
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
|
18:21 |
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
|
18:22 |
For all his judgments [were] before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
|
18:23 |
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
|
18:24 |
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
|
18:25 |
With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
|
18:26 |
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.
|
18:27 |
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
|
18:28 |
For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
|
18:29 |
For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
|
18:30 |
[As for] God, his way [is] perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he [is] a buckler to all those that trust in him.
|
18:31 |
For who [is] God save the LORD? or who [is] a rock save our God?
|
18:32 |
[It is] God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
|
18:33 |
He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], and setteth me upon my high places.
|
18:34 |
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
|
18:35 |
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
|
18:36 |
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
|
18:37 |
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
|
18:38 |
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
|
18:39 |
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
|
18:40 |
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
|
18:41 |
They cried, but [there was] none to save [them: even] unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
|
18:42 |
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
|
18:43 |
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; [and] thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people [whom] I have not known shall serve me.
|
18:44 |
As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
|
18:45 |
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
|
18:46 |
The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
|
18:47 |
[It is] God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
|
18:48 |
He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
|
18:49 |
Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
|
18:50 |
Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
